Disposing of Glazes by
anna
I mix my own glazes from dry ingredients, and therefore often have
small test batches that just don't work out. My question is what is
the proper way to dispose of these glazes? My first instinct is to let
them dry out and just toss them in the garbage, but there has got to be
a better...

or salt/soda...

Wheel with lugs on it by
Anne Mossman
I'm a relative novice at the wheel and to date have used studio and rented
wheels (without lugs).
I've just acquired my own new wheel and ordered it with lugs on it, thinking
it must be more useful/efficient to sit bats on it this way than to have to
make clay chucks to hold bats on.
Having taken...

Glaze research by
Anne Mossman
I am doing research as part of a university (distance) ceramics course and
wondered if anybody can point me in the direction of internet based
information on glazes, their history, development etc. The glaze I have
chosen is tomato red but if I can't find much about it I'll research
something...

Selling Pottery by
annemarie
I went to a weekend demonstration
by Jeff Oestreich recently.
http://www.studiopottery.com/potters/oestreichjeff.html
In his opinion in America pottery and hand
made "stuff" is popular again and selling well??
Do other Americans experience this? Hope it happens here in NZ.

Sculpture by
annemarie
Ok mostly I make pottery, but sometimes I get inspired to try sculpture. I
especially like using paperclay. I find it very difficult to sculpt eyes
though. Having them closed is fine, but open is very difficult for me. I
have done one just now with a young woman in a strapless gown, standing...

myself) from the pot warehouse and planted our little tree in it.
Moved it outside today and the tray has leaked and the...

glaze toxicity by

A few years ago someone posted a great list of glaze materials and their
relative toxicity. I have lost it unfortunately. I went onto the net to
look for something but couldn't find anything very good.
In the pottery group I belong to many of the members have little idea of the
dangers.
I would...
